you can get 16 loose IB3800s for $100 that have already been zapped.
I agree that its fairly reasonable. But for me to do this conversion, with the intent of bashing only (I dont race at all), I need to have probably 3 sets of batteries. Thats 300 bones in just batteries. Whereas I already have 4 sets of fairly decent 6 and 7 cell packs, thus I wouldnt HAVE to go out an purchase any additional batteries. In addition, I can use my current batteries on any of my trucks, thus reducing the number of batteries I take along with me. My wife says I should reduce the number of trucks.....but what does she know!

The Dewalt setup should get less runtime than BL, simply because it is not as efficient. It might take in close to the amount of power that a BL would, but its lower efficiency lowers the output power. Also, a BL motor would weigh less and perform better than a larger Dewalt, so for racing you would have another reason to go BL.
Yes, runtime compared to BL would likely be less, but I'm also curious about the comparison to a stock Titan set up. Remember, I'm really considering three options here.

So how 'bout I add another wrinkle to it. I dont know anything about sensored/non-sensored. From what I've read, the Novack BL is a sensored set up. But it also can control Brushed motors. Everyone seems to feel that the HV-Maxx, as its sold, isnt powerful enough, but can it run different motors? Are other motors availble for use with that controller? I like the idea of being able to run either brushed or brushless....

Maybe I should just pull everything off and just push 'em around like we used to with our Tonka Trucks!
